Honestly I thought this movie was pretty good. Even got a little teary eyed towards the end. Maybe the story line is a bit cheesy but I figured as much just from the trailer. Sometimes a cheesy movie is nice, I typically watch a lot of psychological thrillers and dramas, so movies like this are honestly refreshing here and there. I recently went to my first rave and it was the BEST night of my life. Every moment has been replaying in my head since the festival and that's the main reason I chose to watch this in the first place. It's not the most realistic depiction of a rave, but they got fairly close. I don't think a riot would actually happen or work for that matter. Most events you have to secure a ticket online first, and then go through security and all that. You don't just buy a ticket and get in. And truthfully I don't think anyone would just go around kissing strangers to pass off drugs- drugs are expensive and hard to get sometimes, freebies aren't really a thing unless it's a friend of yours. But they got a lot of aspects right too. Getting lost or being unable to locate your friends, the visuals and music were done very well, touchy feely rollers, cosmic life advice from helpful strangers, the struggle and anticipation of getting into the event, the excitement of the party goers on the bus, sober people having a good time, high people having a good time. Moral of the story is sh!* happens, but it's all part of the experience and all part of the fun. I think they did a pretty good job and I'd watch it again.
